Hi there!

I am Debby! An openminded, free spirited people person with a big love for nature. Priorities in my life are the environment, veganism and meeting passionate, like minded people with a beautiful personality and a big, kind heart! I am also very passionate about living in the now, about connection with your own body and soul. I meditate and practice yoga on a daily basis to connect with my inner self, with my energy. I am also a very healthy person that likes to eat only what is necessary to maintain healthy, I oppose waste and overconsuming.

When it comes to consuming or owning stuff, less is more! I own a little more then what is necessary and I do not own much technology.
I do own an oldskool soundsystem, since I am a huge music lover and would love to learn to know new music, every single day! I am also a big fan of art and sports.

I sport a lot! Currently I am learning how to climb, I run every week, cycle every week, I own my own longboard and snowboard and some fitness stuff. And like I already said, I also practice yoga on a daily basis. My house is basically a gym haha.

I am also a very good listener and someone who is always willing to learn and grow. Life is about love, balance, respect and positivity. Everything can be a lesson, when you are willing to learn. I like a real connection with people, sharing experiences and stories.

Besides that I have two furry catfriends living in a small house with me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing because I already had some experiences with it myself! I went couchsurfing with my best friend in Paris and Rome, and w had such a wonderful time that I decided to open up to the idea and give back the kindness and love I have received because of couchsurfing.

It is also a great opportunity to learn and meet new positive people, new cultures, ideas, visions and to gather true knowledge.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have volunteered in Namibia for one entire month. I have worked there with all kinds of wild animals and with people from across the world. that adventure was priceless, I learned so much about myself and others. I would love to go back one day.

Teach, Learn, Share

Just Love, that is what it is all about. Love, respect, honesty, appreciation and sharing. Be open to people, to your similarities and differences.

Ofcourse I will not tolerate Racist or disrespectful people in my house.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can show you some of Ghent, I can offer you a warm place to stay, a smile, stories and help with whatever needed.
And also the company of two weird cats! One of them, the black one called Dino, is a little shy.. he likes calm people and will come to you when you let him.
The other one, Muchi, has a character of her own! both of them are reliable and will not bite or scratch you.
